    The more RAM the better for you!
    64mb is lower end ,128 is better ,256 or 512 mb is rare.
    Most GPS software solutions will work on CE6 as well - same goes for WM5/6.

    Not really as there are too many devices on the market...
    the best I've seen by accident on Ebay was a 7inch device with windscreen mount (don't ask me about the look in a small car).
    800x480 pixel display ,256mb RAM ,2 video inputs ,remote control ,FM transmitter ,media player for most video and audio formats and for 30$ extra a reversing camera is included.
    All for about200 $
    So you are best of to take your time and do some research on the prices , and keep in mind that you have to transport and hide that thing too when you go out or so

    Looks not bad at all.
    Only thing I'm missing is a better resolution and SDHC support for the SD cards.
    But just for GPS usage it is good.
    Would be almost perfect with a video in for a reversing cam

    Good that I don't need a new GPS ,hard to resist at that price

    @NoService,

    Please let us all know how much RAM it has when it arrives? According to what I have read some come with 64MB and others with 128MB. Obviously 128MB would be better.

    Cheers, Ian

    Still waiting for a proper Hi-Res 2Din unit with fast CPU more than 128mb RAM ,2video inputs and two video outputs.
    I think I don't have to mention the front USB port for a hard drive or USB stick and that it should support the Australian DVB-T standard....
